"what has grieved me the most since charlie kirk's passing is seeing that many christians who appreciated his work seem to be unable to hear those who voice concern over his rhetoric--without either equating that concern to 'celebrating his death' or dismissing their experience altogether."

The Trump Gaza video is already offensive and disgusting on so many levels, but to make the cover photo on Instagram the giant, golden statue of himself is an entirely unironic form of poetry.

I am BEGGING white evangelicals to stand up.

Call your representatives!
It’s the job of every congressional democrat to grind the gears of government to a stop.

Right now. Block everything. Slow walk every committee. Call every vote. Filibuster every post office name change.

State Dems need to build parallel institutions to protect the people at home. GET TO WORK.
